What to Look for in a Shoulder Bag

A shoulder bag is a necessity for the multitasking women of today.  It’s an indispensible buy on every woman’s must-have accessories. As much as we love slings or clutches they cannot be compared to the sheer effortlessness of shoulder bags. It’s a multipurpose bag along with being hands-free, making it the best of both worlds. While opting for a shoulder bag is not a tough decision, choosing the one that is perfect for you can be a hard task. So we have all the pointers you need to look for in a women’s shoulder bag.

There is no end to the range of bags available. Choosing a style is a matter of individual liking. There are a couple of things, though, that shoppers should look for when contemplating shoulder bags.

Easy Approachability

Unlike most handbags, which can’t opened until you set them on a flat surface for access, you can reach to your shoulder bag while it is still being worn. Hence the bag should feature a simple closure that is safe but not too difficult to open. Zippers should open easily with one hand. Snap straps that loop across the bag should be protected but easy enough to flip open; a magnetic closure is even better. Some shoulder bags have a two-side enclosure with a Velcro the inside, making them an ideal pick. At the same time, you can choose open bags, which are easy to use, but there is less safety and concealment with such a bag.

Well-planned Sections

Since a shoulder bag is generally big in size, we tend to store it to the brim. In most cases the contents of your stuffed bag tend to twist, shift or leak because of movement. Hence it’s important to opt for a bag that doesn’t just look good from the exteriors but has very precisely planned compartments. It’ll help to keep all your stuff in its place. It also makes it easy to find what you’re looking for as well as makes the weight distribution of the bag equal so that it doesn’t constantly pull from different sides.

A Good Strap

The strap is extremely important, to explain this equation: the functionality of your shoulder bag is directly proportional to the quality of its straps. Aside from the quality of the strap it’s better if you choose a bag which comes with an adjustable strap which will make your shoulder bag double as a cross body bag. It’s a helpful feature in case your bag gets too heavy. Another point to be considered is how comfortable is the strap. A strap that is narrow or is made of metal will cut into your shoulder and hence should be avoided. You can opt for a padded strap instead to make sure that even when your bag is over filled it’ll make it extremely convenient to carry. Quick tip: You can actually make a DIY padded strap by covering your strap with a handkerchief, this trick will add some cushion so that the strap digs into the temporary pad, not the muscle of the shoulder area.

You can also choose your favorite shoulder bag from a plethora of options on the web. Brands like Da Milano have a wide array of bags to pick from, right from buying a Passport Case Online to shopping for big totes, they have it all!
